Name: Jan Location: Sauerkraut, Black Forrest area near Straßbourg Retro/Interesting Cars Owned: Phew. I don't know... I think the most "interesting" was this... Shows Regularly Attended: none. I attend some every now and then, but so far have not found "my" show. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook pages : MOTOFREIBEUTER ("Moto Pirate") What are you hoping to do here: Quenching my thirst for cool tin - or get thirsty for more. That depends... Anything else we should know?: anything else you realy WANT to know? I don't think so I've got a faible for weird, old, rare and obscure bits of mechanics & technology or cars/car parts. And I guess I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to spare parts - like everyone on here, I figure Oh, and I'm always wearing a flatcap, of course Also, there's diesel flowing in my veins... Not blood. Blood would be too mainstream

My cars/van are as follows...... 1976 Hillman Imp ROD 509R that my wife calls Dave,all you only fools and horses fans will know why! 1997 Lexus gs300 (the wife's!)comfy old thing it is. Then there is the smiley face Transit bus we use as our camper. Most of the shows we attend are Imp run events but I love Powderham Castle and Easter Crompton show. Not on face book or instagram. I am on here because of the like minded people and the fabulous cars Anything else,I run a camping weekend every year for the Imp club guys/gals,it's in it's 15th year this year,we have had 34 Imps on site one year!!

Name : Alexander Location : The Netherlands, Eindhoven region Retro/Interesting Cars Owned : Previously owned: My first oldtimer I bought in 1999. It was a 66 V8 Mustang coupe. I restored it over four years to concours look and feel. Then sold it after my wedding when we were expanding our family ;-) Currently own: My 1972 Ford Granada coupe 2600v6. I've owned this car for just under 10 years now and done two restorations. The first taking care of serious visible rust and a respray. Unfortunately three years later it looked like the moon surface. So tackled a second restoration, uncovering plate over rust repairs to deal with. My build thread is in my signature. After first and before second restoration: Shows Regularly Attended : none yet, but would love to start once the car is done. Maybe aan RR gathering or ford fair would be great. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook pages : not really What are you hoping to do here: I'm hoping to inspire others and get inspiration from others to restore cars. I like to show what I'm doing though I really build to my own preference. If others like it fine, if not equally fine. I also look for motivation and some support. Anything else we should know?: If I do something I do it right! I hate bodgework, crappy welds and unsafe mods. Am generally a very nice "good guy" type of person.

I can only think I've been that way for Mallory a good few months ago chap. Do you know when? Probably about 3 months ago now. About 3.30 pm We followed a red monaro from hinckley for a while and the driver certainly wasn't afraid of the loud pedal We tried keeping up so the kids could hear it, but I don't like doing them speeds with them in the car lol

That may well have been me Went to the Mallory reopening day and the thundersports weekend. It has exhaust cut outs bypassing the silencers so is quite loud Then again, I would have thought i'd have noticed a nice retro merc and slowed to have a gander so maybe not me...
